Post on behalf of Raul Villanueva:

As we just finished the exhaustive testing and final adjustments of local
test and the interlock program for each of the turbopumps at each
Differential Pumping Sections in XTD2 Tunnel, we are happy to announce
that the system has been released and is up and running smoothly and under
control.  That means that the isolation gate valves in front of each
turbopump is open and therefore the latter is pumping already the beamline
as expected during the upcoming operation phase of the facility. That also
means that WP74, after having already received the wiring documentation
from the Vacuum Group can proceed with the same protocol to keep the whole
gas section in XTD2 in a consistent fail-safe status.

With this positive news, we wish you to have a nice evening,

Regards,

Raúl, Tobias and Nerea,
